It can happen: Testing relies on finding evidence of the genetic material of the germ in urine or a swab. Its ability to detect the germ is dependent on the quality of the specimen.While positive tests are usually quite dependable, a negative test can sometimes just reflect a poor sample. Women can also carry around chlamydia for an extended time with no symptoms.I would make sure he is treated at the same time
